Isaiah 40: Comfort

Isaiah 40:17 KJV — All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

I take comfort when I come across these reminders that God’s authority is everything and man’s authority is nothing.

There is dispute over whether Isaiah wrote this and later chapters. John Oswalt and Henry Halley believe Isaiah is the sole author. Many others seem to think there are three or more authors. I’m inclined to side with Halley.
